.To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that I, JURGEN liIsnsnm-a ritizen oi the l nited States.residing; at Perth Amboy. in the county of ldiddlesex and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Com bined'lea-liettles and Signals: and Ido hereby declare the following to be afull clear. and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to whirb it appertains to make and use thesame. reference being had to the aceon'ipanyin drawings. and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon, which iorm apart ofthis specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in combined teakettles and whistles adapted to signal when the water within the kettlegenerates suiiieienl steam to sound the whistle.

More specifically, the invention ronsists of a kettle having a closedtop and a single opening utilized both for filling; and dispensing waterin the kettle and in which opening a removable. combined whistle and rapis mounted.

The invention is illustrated in the aeronrpartying drawings, in whichFigure 1 is a vertical ventral sectional view. Fig. 2 is a sectionalview through the handle upon the cap showing, the outer face of thelatter. and Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the cap.

heferenee now being had to the details of the draw ions by letter. Adesignates a kettle having a lose'd top to which a handle B is fixed.-\t any suitable location. preferably in the dome of the kettle. acylindrical shell projects about the marginal edge of an opening" whichmay be utilized for either filling or dispensingwater. A flanged rap Dtelescopes within said shell and has a. whistle l) formed therein. and Fis a handle secured to the outer face of the cap, forming convenientmeans whereliiy the latter may be adjusted in place within the shell orremoved therefrom. chain. ii is fastened at one end to the handles ofthe cap and kettle, forming convenient means tor holding the capadjacent to the kettle. disk K is fastened by the rivets N" which securetheangled ends of the handle F. said disk being spared apart from theopening in the whistle and provided for the purpose oi deflecting sloanilaterally to previ-a'it the hand oi the operator taking hold oi thehandle upon the rap from being burned. Upon the opposite lareot the rapis a serond disk S also held by the same rivets and spaced apart fromthe inner face of the (tap and which is provided for the purpose. of preventing any one tampering with the whistle to clog the same.

By the provision of a tea kettle made in au'ordunce with my invention.it will he noted that a simple and eiheient means is aii'orded\vherelz-y the usual removable cover is dispensed with and a singleopening used itu filling: and dispensing is utilized and in whirh thewhistle and rap are held. the whistle serving as a signal when the waterboils or generates sullicient steam to sound the whistle. v

What I tlzllll] to be new is:

lu combination. with a e \;'lindrical shell forming the inlet andout-let of a kettle,

- a flanged (rap tides-roping within said shell,

oppositely bulging disks with registering apertures therein, and otherbulging disks seeured one inside and the other outside the rap andspaced apart "from-the apertured disk. and a handle fastened to saidcap.
